NBR/PVC COATED POLYESTER FABRIC

Polyester is a the synthetic fiber that detains the first place in terms of global production. It is a linear polymer whose mass comprises predominantly (at least 80%) of the ester functions and terephthalic acid. The polyester yarn is lightweight and flexible. It is resistant to ultraviolet radiation. Low flammability. It softens at 245 ° C and melts at 250 ° C. It keeps a good shape memory and can therefore be used into coated fabrics composition. Furthermore, a suitable weaving also allows good heat dissipation. As NBR is blended with PVC ageing resistance is improved. Likewise, flame, ozone and petrol resistance are largely improved. Especially designed for particular applications, the formulation of this blend is destined to high-quality products that require an especial environmental resistance as much as the oil and fuel endurance.

The first rubber coated fabrics appears in 1926 for belt industry applications. Colmant Cuvelier quickly understands the importance of acquiring a calendering line for the manufacturing of his rubber sheets and coated fabrics that was dedicated to his own applications and then to the sale of coated fabrics for specialized applications such as hovercraft skirts, fuel flexible tanks...
